BREEAM is sometimes referred to as BREEAM Rating, BREEAM Reports, BREEAM Assessment Ratings, BREEAM Assessors, BREEAM Assessments.

What Is A BREEAM Rating?

The BREEAM ratings for a new, non-domestic building in Highlands and Islands are:

• Pass: standard good practice (top 75%)
• Good: intermediate good practice (top 50%)
• Very Good: advanced good practice (top 25%)
• Excellent: best practice (top 10%)
• Outstanding: innovator (top 1%)

It used to be that 'Good' was the maximum level that could be achieved with 100% being the maximum score in Highlands and Islands from a BREEAM assessment. However, in 2008, a new 'Outstanding' category was added - although the percentages required for each level remained the same.

What Are The Benefits of BREEAM?

A BREEAM certification is a way of validating how good a building in Highlands and Islands is in terms of the environmental impact through a globally recognised standard. It's the hope that the BREEAM assessment will help building owners and designers to improve their carbon footprint and make better use of their resources.

BREEAM aims to show that by building with the local area in mind, though capital costs may increase, you should save on operational costs in the long-term. This limits investor costs and makes the building more attractive when it comes to selling.
